Dresses and More Dresses: My Rehearsal Dinner Dress

After the ladies stole the dress I was going to get as my rehearsal dinner dress, I had to find a back up. Finding my rehearsal dinner and after party dresses were so much easier than finding my wedding gown! And where did I turn, but Nordstrom.com! I love the extensive online selection they have, and it's so easy to search by the particular color you're looking for. In this case, I decided to go with white, instead of purple. How many times in your life do you get the excuse to wear a white dress, after all?

After narrowing it down to several choices (which I sadly can't share because they're no longer available), this is the one I picked, for $98:

It has a similar cut to the bodice as the bridesmaid dresses, especially with the twisted straps, and I love the little pleats on the skirt!

And check out these hot Chinese Laundry heels I got to go with it, for only $35 from Endless.com! Miss Cheeseburger looked at these as well in her search for purple wedding shoes.

The multiple straps on the heels go nicely with the waist detail on the dress, and they're the perfect shade of purple too!

How far in advance did you pick out your other wedding event outfits?

  1. So pretty! Very Greek-goddess-esque. Ummm . . . I bought my bridal shower dress before I was engaged (white also). Got it at White House/Black Market for $19 (down from $118). That's weird, right?

  3. I love that dress. So pretty. I just bought my 2nd dress to change into for the reception dancing this past weekend...it also reminds me of the Greek goddess look :) Less than 5 months to go. I know what I want to wear to my bridal shower but have no idea about the rehearsal yet.

  4. Drool, I'm loving the heels and dress combo!! As you already know, I've been snatching up all the hot little white dresses that I find. :) I lovelovelove Nordies for little white dress purchases, and what a great deal for those purple heels.
